Casio Unleashes Ocean-Inspired Magic with Six New "Hidden Glow: Sea of Stars" G-Shocks
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DOVER, NJ – June 5, 2025 – Casio America, Inc. today plunged into deep, luminous waters with the announcement of its latest G-Shock phenomenon: the Hidden Glow: Sea of Stars Collection (Volume 2). This captivating series introduces six new models designed to capture the mystique of the ocean depths, featuring Casio's innovative "Hidden Glow" technology that transforms the watches from understated daytime companions into radiant beacons after dark.
Inspired by bioluminescent sea creatures and the starry night sky reflected on the ocean's surface, the collection boasts a unique design language. The key visual element is a mesmerizing "wave pattern" meticulously printed over the indices and bezel. Under normal daylight conditions, this pattern creates a subtle, textured aesthetic reminiscent of sunlight filtering through water. However, when darkness falls and the watch is exposed to light, the magic begins.
The "Hidden Glow" Revelation: The true spectacle lies beneath the surface. Once charged by light, the watch face reveals a stunning, vibrant blue luminescence beneath the wave pattern. This creates an arresting effect where the dark wave design appears to float dramatically over a brilliant, glowing "sea of stars." The result is a watch that looks sophisticated and stealthy by day, but transforms into a head-turning luminescent masterpiece at night.
"With the 'Hidden Glow: Sea of Stars' collection, we wanted to capture that awe-inspiring moment of witnessing bioluminescence in the deep sea or the vastness of a starry sky over the ocean," said a Casio product manager. "The 'Hidden Glow' technology allows us to create two distinct personalities in one incredibly tough G-Shock – a subtle daily wearer and a radiant night-time statement."
The Six Models: The collection offers versatility across popular G-Shock lines:
- GA-2000HGL-2A: The rugged, dual-layer GA-2000 silhouette gets the Sea of Stars treatment.
- GA-700HGL-2A: The bold, oversized GA-700 features the luminous transformation.
- GA-110HGL-2A: The iconic GA-110, known for its complex dial, embraces the deep-sea glow.
- GA-400HGL-2A: The angular, modern GA-400 dives into the luminous theme.
- DW-5600HGL-2: The timeless, square-framed DW-5600 – the original G-Shock – reimagined with the Sea of Stars glow.
- DW-6900HGL-2: The robust, round DW-6900 joins the collection with its own hidden light show.
Built for Adventure: True to G-Shock's legendary reputation, all six models feature the core toughness traits users rely on: 200-meter water resistance, shock resistance, and a rugged resin construction. They include essential functions like world time (48 cities + UTC), stopwatch, countdown timer, 5 daily alarms, and full auto-calendar.
